God of War: Ascension Gets a Look Into the Story

God of War: Ascension, the next installment in the long saga that is GoW has a new singleplayer trailer out. In GoW you play as Kratos who is on a mission of redemption after killing his wife and kid which the game takes place six months after those events. God of War: Ascension is set to release for PS3 on March 12, 2013 in North America and March 13, 2013 in Europe.

Kratos said the Playstation thing! Well if he acknowledges that, I HAVE to get it! But why is he white-skinned with his family, the white is from their ashes...
It looks like we'll see a family, almost tender side of Kratos, which will really be interesting given his angry nature. Plus he smiles, which is a sight to behold. And to see him without the Fleece, etc. all-decked out look kind of refreshing.

Not thrilled with the amount of attention the story's been given relative to the piss-poor multiplayer. There have even been comments on the Playstation Blog to the effect of "This game has singleplayer?" When a first-party game gets that kind of reception on the first-party news source, I tend to get worried.

My most anticipated game of next year. Cannot wait for this a big Gow fan and this game looks epic and i am not worried the sp even though there's mp because after 5 games which were awesome(Coo was good) i know that santa monica wont screw up

31secs thats not enough but oh well, all the past GOW's were excellent hopefully this will be amazing as well. Having the multiplayer factor scares me a bit i enjoyed the beta it was cool but i just dont know how it will turn out. Gotta hope for the best i guess cant wait to play it...

I was thinking the same thing, it makes no sense...

I agree with you. There has been very little news about the single player and the game does not need multiplayer. I wish a few developers would finally learn this.

I know people have expressed issues between the games online and offline modes, but I'm not exactly sure why. The devs gave a live hands-on demo of the single player at E3, and it looked and played beyond spectacular. As for the MP, I'm part of the beta and I'm actually thoroughly enjoying it. This coming from someone who generally does not like online MP, so that's saying a lot. And that's just the beta too; there's so much more that's currently locked and I honestly can't wait to get my hands on the full version and see what else the MP has to offer.
